Travel Insurance

I know there is very good Factsheet about this onsite, but this information could be of interest if anyone is travelling after treatment for Early Breast Cancer.

After getting letters from my GP and Oncologist, it turned out I didn't need them after all.  In their Product Disclosure Statement, Covermore lists conditions they automatically cover for free. For several cancers, including breast:  if you were diagnosed over 6 months ago, have not had any chemo or radio in the past 6 months, if your cancer has not spread beyond the primary site at any time - and if your journey is for less than 6 months duration - you automatically get their full cover.  I rang to check.  True.  They emailed me a policy on the spot.  No letters needed.  No excess to pay.

I know some of our pink sisters have had problems, so thought posting this might help anyone travelling in the future.

Love to everyone, Michelle xx

    Hi Julia,

    I think you may have clicked on the wrong person.

    Hi Michelle,

    Thanks for the information, do you know if that includes positive lymph nodes or would that preclude you?

     

    thanks.

    Thanks very much for this! I've just booked a family trip to Europe for July next year and have been wondering about travel insurance. Great timing.
